Exterior LED lights visible during the day!

Would be nicer to show daytime video.

 

I doubt your reverse light is day time visible. It's LED and the color temperature is the same as day light. I have the same problem. My reverse light is not direct sunlight visible. Now, if the car's hood is facing toward the sun, then yeah they're visible but not nearly as visible as the stock incandescent bulbs.

 

Well, a reverse light needs to be illumination during dark times (say, after the rapture :tinfoil3 but only needs to be signal lighting during the day. Certainly, I would like to have brighter light in both cases, even the stock incandescents are not bright enough in my opinion. What color temperature (of whitish light) is most visible in the daytime? Would it perhaps help to have two sources, a colored light for illumination, and a white for signalling?

 

White signal would be blinding! But a red LED turn signal would be sick IMO. Like a bimmer. Maybe white turn signals for the front?

 

Apparently I was unclear, the reverse lights function during the day is to signal our intention to back up to those around us; not to illuminate the area (like headlights). Thus, the reverse lights only need to be as bright (during the day) as other signal lights (blinkers, flashers, etc.)

The colors are important to be linked to the function, in order to quickly and accurately communicate our intentions to others. Changing them to 'look cool' at the expense of safety is a horrible idea in my opinion.

 

day light color temperature is around 5200k. most led lights are around 6000k. stock incandescent bulb is around 3500k. at direct sunlight, the stock bulb will give an orangeish white color and is more visible than the pure white led. there's a new led bulb on ebay that uses a 5watt cree led. it is really bright. I haven't tried it out because it's expensive but looking at the demo video it's pretty bright. red turn signal lights suck! they remind me of cheap american junk from the 70s, 80s and 90s.
